Pull up a chair, young ones, and let me tell you the tale of Cock Aeonseeker - 'tis a cautionary tale about bad decisions and mosquito bats. Also, Purity Grimoire...who had a good heart, but a soft head. This week we discuss our ongoing Lamentations of the Flame Princess game, and how Alex burned through two characters in less time than it takes to watch an episode of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. Then again, this is The Grinding Gear. Someone's gonna die. The main topic of discussion: Clyde wrangles a bit with what he calls 'Bald Narrativism' after a game at the recent Walking Eye Con. Also - some bromance talk about Luke Crane. Show Notes Direct download: Yellow_Menace_Gamecast_Episode_13_-_Alex_Sucks_at_OSR_and_Clyde_has_a_Problem.mp3 Category:general -- posted at: 4:11 PM |

Here it is. Our totally awesomeballs Actual Play recording of James Raggi's OSR RPG Lamentations of the Flame Princess! Fun and mirth were had by all, as well as a number of TPK moments precipitated by Alex. Naughty banter within, so...NSFW. Show Notes: |

This week we discuss Gamespot's acquisition of Giant Bomb, videogame journalism, doing the horizontal bop in Bioware games, and Benny Chan's Shaolin. As usual, SPOILERS! Show Notes: |

This week we discuss the minor internet drama from a few weeks ago regarding Margaret Weis Productions alleged non-payment to freelancers. Yes, we know this is fairly old news at this point - we recorded this episode the day after the thing went semi-nuclear and because it all died down so quickly we held off on posting it. After some discussion, however, we think there is still some value in the discussion. Also, we had a chat about some issues Ed has with indie game mechanics - which we never did really resolve.

This week Alex makes a super half-assed pitch for his gonzo, retro-RPG Horde of Corpses...and we ask the question 'If you can't win an RPG, is it a game?' No, really - it's a thing we talk about. Tune in to hear our strategy for beating up the Podge Cast guys, reminiscences of failed game experiments (including the one Alex is publishing), what wargame features an average play-time of 1200 hours (and why), and what we think of Diplomacy. And as you'd expect, just talking about Diplomacy starts an argument. Imagine what playing the actual game must be like! Show Notes |

This week we take a look at the (already) lagging sales of the newly-released Playstation Vita, pimp a great new Kickstarter, and review Olivier Assayas' 1995 indie flick Irma Vep - which may seem off-topic...but features the legendary Maggie Cheung as herself. The verdict: three ups and one big down. Show Notes

This week we review the 1994 smash-hit videogame adaptation Double Dragon! Actually, that's a total lie - this film was an abysmal failure...but somehow 3 of the 4 Yellow Menace crew found it in themselves to assign a thumbs-up! Find out which one of us was a total party pooper! Also, Alex talks about really old video games none of you will care about, and we discuss young adult fiction. Okay, it's really a discussion about the impending U.S. release of Battle Royale - but, as always, we get all wander-y and shit. Show Notes |

This week we talk some video games - Farmville and Saints Row 3 - and review the Filipino exploitation film documentary Machete Maidens Unleashed! And after the movie talk, find out why Alex is the 'Filipino Ron Jeremy'. |

So here's our take on the impending release of Dungeons and Dragons 5th Edition / D&D Next, or whatever you wanna call it. Wherever you stand on the issue, I suspect you'll find something to hate about this one. Show Notes:

This week we take on Gamification - mostly. We start out talking about gamification and then, as is our wont, we wander off deep into the woods and start chatting about what separates Zynga games from MMO's, achievement points, NASCAR romance novels, and various other things. Most notably, we deliver what inadvertantly becomes a post-mortem of Dungeons and Dragons 4e - and speculate about 5e's impending release. For context, it's important to note this was recorded back in November, two months before an official announcement had been made. Show Notes:
